There's no reason you can't keep many months of daily backups, and set your prune to only do: --keep-within=365d For those who aren't familiar with Borg, there is no such thing as a weekly backup, daily backup, monthly backup, etc. Every backup is a quick full backup. It's only the prune (which deletes old backups) option that gives you the choice of bracketing your backups into monthly/weekly/daily sets, so it'll save the last backup of each month for the last X months, the last backup of each week for X weeks, etc.
